Good idea.
I attended the Aquinas-Blue Valley North game last Friday. My nominees from Aquinas who started and played most of the game and were starters on the wrestling team last year are (weights listed are last years wrestling weights):
RJ Nill 152 Defensive End
EJ Walter 189 Defensive Tackle
Mike Hammer 215 Defensive Tackle
Alex Lopez 275 Offensive Tackle
From Blue Valley North the only starter I know of was Casey Curran. Casey played running back and safety. I would have given Casey the MVP of the game. He will probably win more than an all wrestler football team honors this year. He should be in the mix for all Metro and all State football honors this year. He is a very talented football player.
I apologize if I left out any other wrestlers from Aquinas or Blue Valley North who started the game. If I did perhaps someone else could fill in the gaps.
